OEM trailer hitch lock - Octavia Scout

Hi folks

2015 Octavia Scout with OEM trailer hitch fitted. I had to drill out the existing trailer hitch lock cylinder, as the car came with no key. I now need to replace this lock cylinder. Skoda dealer parts department gave me a blank look when I tried to buy one. Does anyone have a suggestion where to try and find one? Is this OEM hitch unique to Skoda ? Any ideas appreciated. I am in the UK if it makes any difference.

Try a Westfalia distributor (I'm pretty sure Westfalia make VW OEM towbars) or it may be a case of a replacement swan neck

    It would appear to be p/n 5E0803882 swan neck - looks like the one pictured below. I am after the lock cylinder with key (arrowed) if anyone has a spare lying around.
